I find it much quicker to "type" with the onscreen keyboard and the stylus rather than the "Graffiti2" mode. But Graffiti2 is fine for a few short words.

It's a lot easier than what I've ... ...learn lots of strange ways to write the letters.
The screen is not as good as the more expensive models, and not particularly high resolution. Photos, for example, look horrible!
But for most applications it is fine and easy to read.

With the correct software you can store whole volumes of mp3's on it so that you can listen on the bus/train/airplane.
The only thing ...
